WolfrepSupply is an independent reference desk for using China-based purchasing agents like oopbuy, kakobuy and hoobuy. You paste a Taobao / 1688 / Weidian link. They buy, inspect, warehouse and ship. We just write down everything they actually do.

If you've ever typed "where is my parcel?" into a chat, the answer you're looking for is always one of these four.
Paste a 1688 / Taobao / Weidian link into the agent's order form. They quote item price + service fee + estimated freight before any money moves.
Top up the agent's wallet and they place the order on the Chinese platform using their own account. This solves the "I don't have a Chinese debit card" problem.
The item arrives at the agent's bonded warehouse. Request 1:1 inspection photos before they pack. Items stay 60–90 days free to let you consolidate.
When you say ship, the agent weighs, packs, hands to SF International, Yanwen, DHL or a similar tracked line. A tracking number lands in your inbox.
Some things fall inside every major agent's standard service. Some depend on which agent, which tier, which day.
Six boring-but-real reasons your order usually arrives intact.
The agent doesn't pass money to the source platform until you've confirmed the quote. If anything looks off, the funds are still in your account.
Even if you skip the optional photo request, the warehouse weighs and visual-checks inbound parcels. Defects get flagged before they enter free storage.
Most agents hold your items 60–90 days at no charge. Sending four items in one parcel costs roughly what one parcel costs — not four.
From Chinese platform → agent warehouse → international courier → your door, every hop updates on a real tracking number you can refresh.
If the inspection photos reveal a problem before the parcel leaves the warehouse, you can reject it. Most agents refund 100% in that case.
A ¥1,600 jacket pays the same fee as a ¥200 jacket on most agents once the cap kicks in. Higher order value isn't penalised.
Drawn from publicly reported agent timelines, not from a marketing page.
Confirm the quote, top up the agent's wallet, order enters their queue.
The agent places the order on the Chinese platform; the seller ships to the warehouse.
Item arrives, is weighed and visual-checked. Inspection photos queued if you requested them.
Ship immediately, or wait for other items to consolidate. Free up to 60–90 days.
Faster to UK / EU / US-east. Allow the upper end for AU, NZ, the Gulf and remote regions.
Plug in a number and see what it actually lands at. Every line is real and traceable to the agent's published fees.
Freight splits equally across items in the same consolidated parcel. Free storage 60–90 days lets you combine multiple items before shipping.
Patterns we see in first-time orders. Read these and you'll be ahead of most buyers.
Three separate parcels to the same city cost roughly three times the freight of one consolidated parcel.
Most agents offer free 1:1 photos on orders above ¥100 or so. Skipping them means finding out about a defect after the parcel leaves China.
Studio lighting, brand retouching and white-balance tricks can make a navy look black, or vice versa.
Every agent gets its own page: service fees, QC photo policies, free storage windows, freight lanes and the fine print that decides what you actually pay.
The agents above buy, inspect, warehouse and ship. You pick a platform, paste a listing, confirm the quote. Nothing is charged until you say so.
